If I Wasn’t Afraid to Hurt Your Feelings: The Real Reason You Need to Be Taking (and Printing) Photos
Let’s Be Honest…
If I wasn’t afraid to hurt your feelings, I’d tell you this:
You don’t have as much time as you think.
You won’t remember everything you swear you’ll never forget.
And no — a blurry iPhone selfie from your last vacation isn’t enough to tell the full story of your relationship.
You’re building a life with someone.
That life deserves to be seen.
Not just on your wedding day. Not just when you get engaged or have a baby.
But in the in-between moments too — the years where it’s just the two of you figuring it out, laughing till your cheeks hurt, taking spontaneous road trips, grocery shopping in your pajamas, or dancing barefoot in the kitchen.
This is your legacy.
You Don't Need a "Reason" to Book a Session
Couples often tell me:
“We’ll book a shoot when we get engaged.”
“We’re waiting for the next big thing.”
“We just don’t have a reason right now.”
Here’s the truth: You are the reason.
You don’t need an engagement ring or a major life event to document your relationship.
Your love story doesn’t pause between milestones — it evolves, grows, and deepens.
That’s the magic I want to capture. That’s the story worth telling.
Why Printing Your Photos Matters
Here’s the second half of the tough love:
Keeping your photos buried in a phone gallery isn’t the same as living with them.
Printing your photos — framing them, flipping through them in an album, sticking them to your fridge — keeps your memories visible. Tangible. Real.
In five years, ten years, twenty years, what will you have to look back on? What will your future selves — or future family — be able to see and feel?
Your story deserves more than a disappearing Instagram post.
It deserves to be held in your hands.
Not Into Posing? Good. Me Neither.
The sessions I love most — and the ones couples rave about — aren’t stiff or overly staged. They feel more like a fun day out together: exploring, laughing, moving, and forgetting the camera is even there.
Whether we’re climbing up a ridge at golden hour or dancing through a wildflower field, my goal is to make you feel like you.
Natural. Connected. Present.
No fake smiles. Just the real stuff.
Final Thoughts (And Your Gentle Kick in the Pants)
If you’re reading this and thinking, “Damn… she’s right,” — good.
Let this be your nudge.
Book the session.
Tell the story.
Print the photos.
Be seen.
Because this version of you? This chapter in your story?
